I've been dating my girlfriend for nearly 3 years and while she is home during the summer, we're over 2 hours away when she's at school and since I can't get out there I see her every month or so. It's tough sometimes I guess especially cus I like the physical aspect of a relationship but it's not too bad. We're both busy people so the weeks go by quick.
While mines not technically a long distance, I can understand the difficulties that long distance can cause. But as already stated, if it's meant to be ten it doesn't matter much how far apart but the end goal (obviously) is to physical be together someday.
